Jim Morrison was beautiful. As was Robert Plant. I actually live in the same village as Robert Plant and his face looks like it's melting off.

@PaulForeverYokoNever I had to search for this thread after seeing it in active a few days ago but not having read it. OP I have never found Paul McCartney attractive - but omg, after watching Get Back , I had to come and say yes - you are right. He is absolutely beautiful in it. Incredibly attractive. The way he played his guitar, his skin, magnetic. When he is playing on the rooftop at the end he was magnificent.

Yes lots on The Beatles - Peter Jackson has just released ‘Get Back’. It’s long. But really worth watching. I’ve never been a particular fan, and they were well before my formative years. But I really enjoyed it and have a new respect/understanding/love for their music. It’s fascinating watching the creative process unfold in such talented musicians.

They were much less pretentious than I thought they would have been by that stage. And kind of refreshingly adult, living adult lives, though they were the most famous group in the world. I liked John, Paul (though he is definitely a type A control freak), and Ringo much more than I thought I would. George had been my favourite going in, and though he was undoubtedly in a difficult position with his song writing coming up against the Lennon/McCartney juggernaut, I find the least likeable.

Yoko was quite bizarre, her passiveness, her emotionlessness was it a performance? A kind of artistic performance piece? It was hard to read in modern day terms.

@shewillhaveherway

I actually started another thread comparing John and Paul to David and Jonathan (from the Bible, which I thought was obvious, but no-one got the reference lol) because it’s so obvious that ‘the soul of [John] was knit to the soul of [Paul], and [John] loved him as his own soul.’ George was a third wheel in that relationship and it made it very bitter.

I’m not sure what Yoko’s agenda was; publicity for herself, I suppose. She is horrible.

You've forgotten the two Rogers and Cliff Richard.

No.

You've forgotten the two Rogers and Cliff Richard.
Love this!!

PaulForeverYokoNever · 19/12/2021 21:29

Who are the two Rogers?

Sparklingbrook · 19/12/2021 21:37

There was much discussion on your thread about David and Jonathan re the two Rogers.

David and Jonathan' were Roger Greenaway and Roger Cook. They had a couple of hits and also write songs for others. I remember them, I'm 67. I think Roger Greenaway is gay and I think they wrote the Coca Cola song

Who knows OP but what's with the username and two (or more?) Beatles threads.
Yes Paul is a gorgeous god.
Yes him and John were in love.
Yes Yoko is terrible.
👍

@PaulForeverYokoNever

Not a clue, I didn't write that post. It's all on your other thread anyway.
PaulForeverYokoNever · 19/12/2021 22:30

David and Jonathan (John and Paul) were friends, Bonfire. They weren’t in love that I’m aware.

Yoko is horrible though, that bit is true.

bonfireheart · 19/12/2021 22:43

OK, they weren't in love but loved each other...yes like normal friends. Man loves his friend.

Blueeyedgirl21 · 19/12/2021 22:57

Good looking?! Absolutely not. Looks like a sleepy sloth like child

VanillaAndOrange · 28/12/2021 22:15

And all the Bon jovi boys

What, even David?! Tico is delicious, of course.

And an honourable mention to the young Slash.

fairyqueen · 19/01/2022 17:19

Had to find this thread to say yes, he looks amazing. Not sure what it is about him but he’s pretty much perfect.

Siameasy · 19/01/2022 17:43

Jagger
I find Eric Burdon really attractive

obusrath · 19/01/2022 18:07

Oh my word ladies...what a fabulous thread! I am having to look up many pictures of these young men and examine them carefully - what an absolute chore! Didn't realise Dave Gilmour was so gorgeous...and as for Springsteen in those jeans! I need air! As a past poster said, I'll have any of them. Thanks for brightening up my covid-y day.

Davros · 19/01/2022 18:11

I love Paul McCartney but the rest are mostly hairy horrible hippies.
David Essex was beautiful (mentioned up thread)

sueelleker · 19/01/2022 18:12

David Essex was my hearthrob.

Hesma · 19/01/2022 18:37

Oooh no

ThesecondLEM · 19/01/2022 18:38

A young Cat Stevens 😍

Davros · 19/01/2022 20:31

Anyone who DOES like Paul, I highly recommend the series on Radio 4 recently "Inside the Songs" and his book "The Lyrics". I think that's why there's been a lot of coverage recently and the Get Back doc

Infinitemoon · 26/01/2022 14:43

but omg, after watching Get Back , I had to come and say yes - you are right. He is absolutely beautiful in it. Incredibly attractive. The way he played his guitar, his skin, magnetic. When he is playing on the rooftop at the end he was magnificent.

I know I was astounded too. PM was incredible! I had absolutely no idea. He just comes across mildly annoying now but I will give him a break now. Grin
